Hi my partner and i have recently purchased a sony bravia 32 inch tv and i'm looking to connect my dell inspiron laptop 9100 up to it and use it as a monitor, but i'm wondering what cable would i need?? I'm not very pc or tv savvy and any help would be appreciated.
I know the tv has a vga connection as does my laptop, if that helps.What cable do i need to connect my Sony Bravia 32 inch tv to my Dell inspiron laptop?All you need is a male-to-male VGA cable. Check out your local Best Buy or other computer parts store.
Once connected you will have to enable your TV as a second monitor.
Go here for a short walk through.

Make sure to drag your intended program over to the second monitor(tv), once you have it setup.What cable do i need to connect my Sony Bravia 32 inch tv to my Dell inspiron laptop?I just looked into this last weekend and they have everything you need at Target super store. Its a HD cord that goes into the back of you TV and hooks into the adapter you will need to plug into the VGA jack behind your laptop.....HD cable = $30 and the Adapter = $20What cable do i need to connect my Sony Bravia 32 inch tv to my Dell inspiron laptop?If they both have VGA connections, then use a VGA to VGA cable. Best Buy and Circuit City will definitely have them, Target and Wal-Mart might.
You'll want a male-to-male cable. Something like this: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Belkin-Pr鈥?/a> or http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d鈥?/a> or http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-28012-Mo鈥?/a>
If your laptop has a DVI port (one website said your model does), and the TV has a DVI port, you can use a DVI-to-DVI cable as well. The DVI cable will be similar to the VGA cable, just a different end!
